Starting early and continuing at home makes a real difference. Physiotherapy rebuilds strength and mobility step by step and includes fall prevention so it does not happen again.

When to seek urgent care
Physiotherapy is safe for most people, but see a doctor urgently if you have any of these:
- Severe pain or inability to bear weight
- Wound redness, discharge, or fever
- Calf pain or swelling, which can signal a clot
- Sudden breathlessness, sharp chest pain, or coughing up blood, which can signal a clot in the lung and needs emergency care
Do not book physiotherapy for emergency symptoms. Seek urgent medical care first, then use physiotherapy when it is safe and appropriate.
